- 5x + 4 > 19
1st step let us move 4 to the other side by subtracting both sides by 4
- 5x + 4 - 4 > 19 - 4
- 5x > 15
2nd step is move - 5 to the other side by dividing both sides by -5, BUT when we divide the sides of an inequality by a negative number we must reverse the sign of inequality
[tex]\frac{-5x}{-5}<\frac{15}{-5}[/tex]x < -3
The solution is all values smaller than -3
On the number, line draw an empty circle at -3 then draw from it an arrow pointing to the left ( - ve infinity)
The solution is {x : x < -3} or (-00, -3)
